After revealing her post-baby figure in a fitted peplum dress on the premiere of Katie Couric‘s new talk show, Jessica Simpson, 32, covered up for a night out with fiancé Eric Johnson, 32 in New York City.
Hitting the pavement in a purple printed maxi dress and leather jacket, Simpson, who shared with Couric that she’s lost more than 40 pounds since giving birth to daughter Maxwell, was quick to conceal her newly slimmed-down figure again.
While the Fashion Judge star admitted to Couric that she’s still ten pounds away from her goal weight, she had the right idea by accentuating her curves in a fitted LBD rather than covering them up under long, loose layers.
Which of Jessica’s looks do you like better?
Although we love the maxi dress paired with the leather jacket – a great styling trick for transitioning a summer dress into fall – the looser style actually makes her appear larger by hiding her newly-toned figure.
While we understand the temptation to hide any lingering post-baby pounds under looser layers, Simpson had the right idea with her daytime look: Not only is black incredibly slimming, but the figure-flattering peplum style accentuated her waist, making her appear even slimmer.
Despite her struggles to lose weight under so much public scrutiny, Simpson looks incredible post-baby and she should show off her new figure with pride.
